RESULTS & ANSWER KEY for Golden Oldies Lyrics Quiz #462 (GOLQ462)
Congratulations to all of the following, who tied for first place with perfect
scores of 500++: Virve Juopperi, Randy Price, Delphi Trivia Club, Barry Silk,
The EJ'S & Co., Vito & the Salutations, and The Village Idiots.
I had a few mini-themes for this quiz:
* Books I have read in the past two years. I am going through a second
teenagerhood and thus often read books for this age level. In fact, I am in a
book club, Adults Read Young Adult Books, run by the public library in Abington,
PA. Books that contributed to this quiz include:
* THE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS by Marjane Satrapi, which my book club read
and which is on the NEW YORK TIMES' 100 Best Books of the 21st Century list. I
used some song titles and group names that correspond to chapter titles in this
book plus an artist who is the father of a post-GOLQ era singer whose name is
also the title of a chapter in this book.
* GIVE ME A SIGN by Anna Sortino, also read by my book club.
* A 28-book series of books aimed at ages elementary school through
young adult written by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor. The main character in these
books is originally named Alice McKinley, but after her marriage in the final
book, her name becomes Alice Long.
* BELOVED by Toni Morrison, an adult book which may be read by some high
school classes. Among other references, there are three different groups in
this quiz with lead singers with the last name of Morrison.
* REVOLVER by Duane Swierczynski, which is definitely an adult book. I
included a song I had never heard or heard of before that I first learned about
in this book plus an artist with the first name of Duane and a song from an
album called REVOLVER. After this quiz went out, I realized that one of the
singers in this quiz was later married for a while to someone whose family had a
major influence on Duane Swierczynski's family.
* Recently deceased individuals Rick Derringer (originally Zehringer), Sly Stone
(originally Sylvester Stewart), and Brian Wilson. The last two are represented
by two songs each. At least one other artist in this quiz died earlier in 2025.
* "Regina's Greatest Hits"- Songs from various themes or mini-themes used in
some of my previous GOLQs.
* Three different songs with the title "Here Comes The Night," which was noted
by Vito and the Salutation and Mike Weaver.
Unintended mini-themes:
* Two songs written or co-written by Bert Berns.
* Two singers using stage names whose original last name was Smith.
I need to correct something I said in the Results and Answer Key for GOLQ457.
"Let It Be Me" by Betty Everett and Jerry Butler was not the first version of
this much-recorded song. I meant to say that it was the first version of it
that I ever heard.
GOLQ462's mean score was 498.46, and the median was 500.
My thanks to everyone who participated.

GOLDEN OLDIES LYRICS QUIZ #462 ANSWERS:
Answers are in the form:
#number) Artist: Title (year[s]) [peak Pop] {peak R&B} <xxx>...<yyy>
[-] = did not make pop chart
{-} = did not make R&B chart
{F} = made R&B chart as a flip side

of peak popularity
<"xxx">...<"yyy"> = prior GOLQ(s) in which the song appeared, if any.
=============================================================================
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-01.mp3
#01) Abbott, Billy, & the Jewels: "Groovy Baby" (1963) [55] {-} <119><334>
For years, I thought the lyric was "Ruby Baby," not to be confused with the song
with that name that was recorded by the Drifters and by Dion. This song is a
two-fer in this quiz. "The Jewels" is the title of a chapter in THE COMPLETE
PERSEPOLIS, and the song could have been used in my Philadelphia-themed quiz
(GOLQ267).
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-02.mp3
#02) Beatles, The: "Yellow Submarine" (1966) [2] {-} <66><237>
Originally released on their album REVOLVER. I chose this one over their other
hit from this album plus two GOLQ-era charting covers of songs released on it to
honor lead singer Ringo Starr's 85th birthday on July 7.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-03.mp3
#03) Berry, Chuck: "Dear Dad" (1965) [95] {-} <401>
Another two-fer. The word "beloved" is in this lyrics snippet. Plus, I could
have used it in my fathers-themed quiz (GOLQ413) but only learned about this
song recently. (No, it's not the song I learned about in REVOLVER. That one is
still to come and is also a two-fer.)
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-04.mp3
#04) Box Tops, The: "The Letter" (1967) [1] {30} <50><127><241><345>
Other charting versions:
1969 - The Arbors, #20
1970 - Joe Cocker with Leon Russell, #7
"The Letter" is the title of a chapter in THE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-05.mp3
#05) Boyce, Tommy, and Bobby Hart: "Alice Long (You're Still My Favorite
Girlfriend)" (1968) [27] {-} <270>
When I was growing up in Silver Spring, MD, near Washington, DC, I always wished
for a book set there. Well, my wish came true, but it took more than 30 years.
Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, a resident of nearby Bethesda and later slightly
farther away Gaithersburg, set her series of books about Alice McKinley Long in
Silver Spring! Of course, I had to read them, even though I had long since
grown up and left the area. I recognized a lot of the landmarks, some of which
are in DC, Virginia, and other parts of Maryland, although fictitious names were
used for some of them.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-06.mp3
#06) Cher: "Alfie" (1966) [32] {-}
Other charting versions:
1966 - Cilla Black, #95
1967 - Dionne Warwick, #15, #5 r&b
1968 - Eivets Rednow (Stevie Wonder), #66 (harmonica instrumental)
1973 - The Delfonics, #88 r&b
This is a song I wanted to use in my Burt Bacharach-themed quiz (GOLQ441), but
Dionne Warwick's version had been used too recently at the time. After this
quiz went out, I learned that Duane Swierczynski and his brother Gregg were
named for the Allman Brothers. Cher was married to Gregg Allman from 1975 until
1979. She is the only performer to have won an Academy Award for acting and to
be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-07.mp3
#07) Doors, The: "Hello, I Love You" (1968) [1] {-} <72><172>
Lead singer Jim Morrison.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-08.mp3
#08) Eddy, Duane, His 'Twangy' Guitar and the Rebels: "Forty Miles Of Bad Road"
(1959) [9] {17} <222><289>
First name Duane for Swierczynski. When I was seven years old, I heard this
played on Milt Grant's AMERICAN BANDSTAND-like show on a Washington, DC, TV
station, but I didn't know the title or artist until I got it on a CD of 1950s
rock instrumental hits released by Rhino in the late 1980s or early 1990s.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-09.mp3
#09) Fisher, Miss Toni: "The Big Hurt" (1959/60) [3] {16} <30><122><283><380>
Other charting versions:
1966 - Del Shannon, #94
1972 - Vikki Carr, #108
First name Toni for Morrison.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-10.mp3
#10) Freeman, Bobby: "C'mon And Swim" (1964) [5] {n/c} <106><219>
Written by Thomas Coman and Sylvester Stewart (later Sly Stone) and produced by
Stewart. Freeman is best known for writing and originally recording the much-
recorded song "Do You Want to Dance" in 1958. While I like both of these songs
a lot, my favorite one by him is another song I heard on Milt Grant's show,
"Betty Lou Got a New Pair of Shoes."
Team Teitellion--Check out Jimmy Durante's tongue-in-cheek "I Came Here To
Swim," also from '64:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu1eLi-qkW8
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-11.mp3
#11) Grant, Earl: "The End" (1958) [7] {16} <28><203>
"The End" is a chapter title in THE GREAT PERSEPOLIS.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-12.mp3
#12) Hawkins', Edwin, Singers Featuring Dorothy Combs Morrison: "Oh Happy Day"
(1969) [4] {2} <173><377>
Other charting versions:
1969 - Billy Mitchell Group, #115
1970 - Glen Campbell, #40
Another group with a lead singer named Morrison. I could have used this in my
Elvis-themed quiz (GOLQ457) because he also recorded it, so that makes this one
a two-fer for this quiz. But I knew that I was probably going to do the
Morrison mini-theme on my next quiz, so I decided to save it for this one.
Elvis actually recorded two different songs called "Oh Happy Day." The other
was a song originally recorded in the early 1950s by Don Howard, who also wrote
it. Elvis' version of that one is part of a medley he did only in a live show
rehearsal.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-13.mp3
#13) Jewels, The: "Opportunity" (1964) [64] {n/c}
As noted above, "The Jewels" is a chapter title in THE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS. A
different group called The Jewels recorded the original version of "Hearts of
Stone," which was written by two of its members, in 1954. I first heard this
song on a CD I got from Roy Kaysen's Memory Lane Records that I mentioned in
GOLQ457. Roy knew that I came from Maryland, and he told me that the group was
from Baltimore. I learned that they were actually from Washington, DC, closer
to my Maryland roots than Baltimore, when I looked this song up in my Whitburn
book while putting this quiz together. However, I don't recall hearing it on
the radio in the DC area.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-14.mp3
#14) King, Ben E.: "Here Comes The Night" (1961) [81] {-}
This was the final song added to this quiz. After I intentionally chose the
other two songs called "Here Comes The Night," I knew that I had heard at least
one other song with this title over the years. I didn't remember the artist or
where I had heard it, though. Looking through various sources, I found that
this one had actually charted in the Hot 100, so I decided to use it. This
song, which was written by Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman, was also recorded by the
Walker Bros. My research found other songs called "Here Comes The Night" that
are different from this one and the ones by Them and the Beach Boys, with
release dates ranging from 1939-2009, by Frank Sinatra, Jimmy Norman, Janis Ian,
Barry Manilow, Destroyer, Nick Gilder, Kim Fransson, David Johansen, Meli'sa
Morgan, and Tokio Hotel.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-15.mp3
#15) Lester, Ketty: "Love Letters" (1962) [5] {2} <8><92><305><337><433>
Other charting version:
1966 - Elvis Presley, #19
This is a song I wanted to use in my Elvis-themed quiz, but it had been used too
recently at the time.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-16.mp3
#16) Matys Bros., The: "Who Stole The Keeshka?" (1963) [55] {-}
This is the song I first learned about in REVOLVER. The book is set in
Philadelphia, where this song is apparently popular among Polish-Americans. The
Matys Bros. were from nearby Chester, PA. When I found the song on YouTube, I
was pleasantly surprised to learn that it had made the Hot 100 during the GOLQ
era, so I knew I had to use it in a GOLQ some day. If I had known about it when
I did my Philadelphia-themed GOLQ, perhaps it would have shown up on that one.
As it is, that makes this one another two-fer for this quiz. While I learned
about some songs by Philadelphia artists (including "Groovy Baby") by hearing
them as oldies on local radio stations after moving here in 1968, I never heard
this one on the radio.
Mike Weaver--"Who Stole The Keeshka?" was probably a bigger hit in Cleveland
than elsewhere. The city has a large Eastern European population and polka
was/is very popular. The Matys had some competition here from Frankie Yankovic
and His Yanks; Frankie being (then) the King of Cleveland Polka. Late night
horror host "Ghoulardi" (Ernie Anderson) used to play it between movie breaks to
tweak the sensibilities of the suburb city of Parma; Parma had a large ethnic
Polish population. Ernie would go on to achieve fame (and fortune) as the staff
announcer for ABC ("The Loooove Boat").
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-17.mp3
#17) McCoys, The: "Hang On Sloopy" (1965) [1] {-} <184><340>
Other charting versions:
1964 - The Vibrations (as "My Girl Sloopy"), #26, #10 Cashbox r&b
1965 - Ramsey Lewis Trio, #11, #6 r&b
1965 - Little Caesar & the Consuls (as "My Girl Sloopy"), #50
1970 - The Lettermen, #93
1975 - Rick Derringer, #94
Lead guitarist Rick Zehringer (later Derringer), heard on this audio snippet,
died on May 26. Thinking that "Who Stole The Keeshka?" would be a tough song to
identify, I looked for something easy to follow it. The song was written by Wes
Ferrell and Bert Berns. It was released on Berns' record label, BANG.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-18.mp3
#18) Nobles, Cliff, & Co.: "The Horse" (1968) [2] {2} <230>
Other charting version:
1968 - The James Gang, #49, r&b
Another chapter title in THE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS is "The Horse." This is
another two-fer because I could have used this song in my Philadelphia-themed
quiz but couldn't at the time because it's an instrumental. I wasn't doing
audio quizzes at the time.
Mike Weaver--"The Horse" was actually a "B" side filler and was the instrumental
backing for the "A" side "Love Is All Right." Cliff Nobles is the vocalist on
the "A" side and does not (as far as I know) perform on the hit "B" side.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-19.mp3
#19) Rogers, Julie: "The Wedding" (1964/65) [10] {-} <68><187>
"The Wedding" is another chapter title in THE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-20.mp3
#20) Ruffin, David: "My Whole World Ended (The Moment You Left Me)" (1969) [9]
{2} <33><261><315><352>
I used this song in GOLQ352 in which one of the themes was songs that came from
classical music or opera. It was a lyrics-only quiz. I repeated the theme in
an audio quiz (GOLQ453) and used most of the songs that I used for it in
GOLQ352. However, I forgot to use this one, whose introduction and melody are
based upon the classical music piece "Fruehlingslied" by Felix Mendelssohn.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-21.mp3
#21) Shannon: "Abergavenny" (1969) [47] {-} <80>
Shannon is actually Marty Wilde, who had many hits in the U.K. but only two in
the U.S. The other one was under the Marty Wilde name, "Bad Boy" in 1960. I
only learned about that one while I was putting this quiz together and briefly
considered using it because I didn't have many pre-1964 songs in this quiz. But
I had been so excited over the prospect of finally using "Abergavenny," a guilty
pleasure of mine, in a GOLQ that I didn't switch to that one. The reason that
Marty Wilde is in this quiz is that the name of his daughter Kim Wilde, a 1980s
singing star who had a few U.S. hits, is the title of a chapter in THE COMPLETE
PERSEPOLIS. Also, I learned that Marty Wilde's original name is Reginald Smith.
According to his Wikipedia article, he is still recording and performing.
Randy Price and Delphi Trivia Club noted that Shannon was Marty Wilde.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-22.mp3
#22) Sly & The Family Stone: "Life" (1968) [93] {-} <282>
Sly Stone died on June 9. I love most of this group's hit songs, including
"Dance to the Music," "Everyday People," and "Hot Fun in the Summertime." While
thinking about him, I remembered a line from one of his songs that goes, "You
don't have to die before you live." That's the audio snippet represented here.
Did you ever fantasize going to a shopping mall and running into one of your
favorite performers also shopping there? One Friday night in October 1971, one
of my sisters went to a Sly & the Family Stone concert at the Shady Grove Music
Fair near our Maryland home. On Saturday, we went shopping at a nearby mall.
Suddenly my sister pointed to a jewelry store and said that Sly Stone was in
there! Of course, I had to go up to him and tell him that I enjoyed his music.
About 2 1/2 years earlier, my sister and I thought we saw The Turtles walking
through the same mall, but we didn't think they were performing in the area.
Aretha Franklin was, though, and when the guy who was taking me to see her that
night picked me up, he mentioned that The Turtles were performing at the White
House that night for a party Presidential daughter Tricia Nixon was hosting.
So they were in the DC area after all, and we probably did see them at that
shopping mall!
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-23.mp3
#23) Them: "Here Comes The Night" (1965) [24] {-} <39><110><234><419>
Lead singer Van Morrison, who went on to have a successful solo career. This
song was written by Bert Berns, who also produced this record. Lulu recorded
this song after Them but before their version was released. However, her
version only went to #50 in the U.K. and did not chart in the U.S. The
Exciters released a slightly different version of this song titled "There They
Go." It did not chart. Other artists who recorded this song called "Here Comes
The Night" include David Bowie and Rod Stewart. Van Morrison himself recorded a
different song called "Here Comes the Knight" on one of his solo albums.
My original choice of the song to represent Them in this quiz was "Baby Please
Don't Go" because it was also famously recorded by Muddy Waters, whose original
name was McKinley Morganfield. This was due to McKinley being the maiden name
of Alice Long in the Phyllis Reynolds Naylor books. But that one only Bubbled
Under at #102, and it had already been used as a tie-breaker.
Bert Berns persuaded Van Morrison to come to the U.S. as a solo artist and
record for BANG Records. Like another BANG artist, Neil Diamond, he had
contract disputes with the record company and eventually went on to a successful
career with Warner Bros. Records. In the musical BEAUTIFUL NOISE about
Diamond's career, Berns persuades Diamond to sign a contract with the label,
saying that Van Morrison had recently signed one just like it. In reality,
Diamond signed with BANG before Morrison.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-24.mp3
#24) Wood, Brenton: "Gimme Little Sign" (1967) [9] <31><193><277>
Brenton Wood died on January 3. His original name was Alfred Jesse Smith.
Coincidentally, for a short time in the 1980s, I worked with a man named Alfred
Wood who had an infant son named Brenton. I doubt if they were related but
maybe the singer Brenton Wood inspired my co-worker and his wife to name their
son Brenton. I used this song because of the similarity of its title to that of
the book GIVE ME A SIGN.
http://golq.org/Clips/GOLQ462/GOLQ462-25.mp3
#25) Zager & Evans: "In The Year 2525 (Exordium & Terminus)" (1969) [1] {-}
<70><123><195><271><334><428>
Of course the quizmaster who used a song by the 1910 Fruitgum Company in a 2010
GOLQ and one called "Acapulco 1922" in a 2022 GOLQ had to use this one in 2025!
And it's even song #25 (not a difficult feat for a Z artist)! I finally looked
up what "Exordium & Terminus" means. According to a web page I found*,
"Exordium means 'a beginning' in Latin, and Terminus is Latin for 'ending.' So
it just means 'Beginning and the End.'" And since "The End" is also one of the
chapter titles in THE COMPLETE PERSEPOLIS, it fits that mini-theme in this quiz.

#T1) Beach Boys, The: "Here Comes The Night" (1967) [-] {-}
Group leader Brian Wilson died on June 11. This song is from the group's 1967
album WILD HONEY. The group, without Brian Wilson, re-recorded this song in a
disco version in 1979. It reached #44 on the Hot 100. Because it is such a
different-sounding song, I did not put year and chart information here for that
version. Mike Weaver noted that the 1979 disco version was issued in several
lengths.

#T2) Honeys, The: "The One You Can't Have" (1963) [-] {-}
Brian Wilson was The Honeys' record producer and chief songwriter. The original
members were sisters Marilyn, Diane, and Barbara Rovell, and the group was known
as the Rovell Sisters. After Barbara left the group, she was replaced by their
cousin, Ginger Blake. Wilson renamed them to The Honeys, a term for female
surfing enthusiasts. He and Marilyn Rovell eventually married, as noted by Vito
and the Salutations and Mike Weaver. Their two daughters, Carnie and Wendy,
were later part of the group Wilson Phillips.
Really Rockin' In Boston--The Honeys were the cheerleaders in "Be True To Your
School."

This chart ranks the songs/artists from most to least recognized. The second
number on the line denotes the average number of points scored on that song
(total points divided by number of entrants, to 2 decimal places). For
comparison purposes, tie-breakers are scored here on the usual 20-point scale.
I expected almost every song to do well. I thought "Who Stole The Keeshka?,"
"Opportunity," the Ben E. King "Here Comes The Night," and "The One You Can't
Have" could be stumpers, but all three regular songs got perfect scores, and
only three entries missed the tie-breaker.
I have abbreviated some artist names to fit the song/artist on one line.
